    Well done to Chrissy who seems to be starting to turn the corner at Norwich.
    Hope it continues as he is one of the gentlemen in the game.

    Neither were many of us, bizarre decision. The silver fox has done well of course and built on his foundations. Glad to see him doing well. Thoroughly nice bloke and a very good manager.

    The spirit was probably the best it had been in many a year under CH.
    I think Norwich is a good fit for him as they are decent people down there and know their football.

    Rumours at the time were that he didn't have control of the dressing room and that Nolan, Harper, Barton and to a lesser extent Carroll were holding far more power than they should be.

    It seemed a slap in the face after he had done so well getting Toon back up at first attempt

    The fans made quite a protest about it and the local papers invited people to write in about what they thought of his sacking. My letter was actually printed in the Chronicle.

    Well we like him.To be honest my first choice was Holloway but Hughton has done a great job.We have now conceded one goal in 450 minutes.Seems like a nice bloke too.

    Not a copy of my letter but quite a few messgages were put up on the board and then forwarded to the Chronicle.

    Pleased for Hughton and the Canaries that they are having a little run of success. It just goes to show that things can and do turn around.
    Delia standing in the middle of the pitch shouting "let's be havin you" has to be one of my favourite sporting moments. Good luck to them, our turn next for a good run.
